Maxi Skirts Are Back In—Here’s How To Style Them For Fall

Lucky for us, maxi skirts are making a big comeback this fall! Sometimes jeans just don’t cut it , or maybe you’re bored of the same silhouette. In any case, the maxi skirt is a versatile piece to help you make the most out of your fall (and winter!) wardrobe . A great transitional piece for shopping or heading to class, the maxi skirt is a perfect balance between elegant and casual. The maxi skirt also makes a great teacher outfit now that school is back in session! Soft patterns in neutral hues are great fall options for a maxi skirt. Avoid bright, bold colors or white, as they're better for the late spring and summer months. The fall season is the perfect time to wear the cutest clothes in our wardrobe, but don’t forget about the accessories! A cute bag, a dark boot, a patterned hair scarf – the options are endless!

Add a Denim Jacket One of the easiest transitional outfits is throwing a cute denim jacket over a lightweight summery look. Maxi skirts look great with tank tops, bodysuits, and classic t-shirts. For the fall-minded girls who live through 90-degree Septembers , a maxi skirt and jean jacket are the perfect way to introduce autumn tones and light layers into your outfits. Over a Matching Set An easy way to make a matching set ready for fall is with a long skirt and matching top, and maybe a jacket. As the weather gets colder, you can easily layer a cardigan or quilted jacket over a sweet matching set for an instantly put-together outfit! Pair with a Sweater For a cozy look, tuck a chunky knit sweater into the waistband of your maxi skirt. Whether you opt for a patterned skirt or stick with solid neutrals, there are so many variations of this look that probably already exist in your closet. It’s effortless and beautiful, and the perfect feminine touch for a day date at the pumpkin patch! Imagine yourself, in a pretty skirt and sweater, walking around a corn maze with a pumpkin spice latte in hand. Fall vibes to the max! Or if a subtle monochrome is more your vibe, try pairing a neutral pattern (like leopard print) with a sweater of the same tone! Cute and effortless! Layer with a Button-Down Top If sweaters feel too heavy with your current weather, try loosely tying a button-down shirt over your maxi skirt for a casual boho vibe. We love the rust orange color and tall boots for fall! A button-down top is also an easy way to switch your maxi dress into a maxi skirt! Just tie the shirt over the top to break up the pattern and change the overall look! Versatile and cute! Closing Thoughts Flowy and feminine, we are thrilled that the maxi skirt is back!
